court OF Washington entirely unexpected
The case was that of James II. and
Maud E. Kell, who sought to Sc
cure the custody of their is months old
child from its grandmother. who resisted
the demand on the ground that she had
cared for it since its birth. Mr.. G. G. Cole
appeared for the petitioners, Hon. j. Am
bier Smith for the respondents, and Justice
Hagner sat at the hearing During the ar
gument OF Mr. Smith he made statements
rejecting On the character Of Mr.. Aldrioh,
which aroused the ire Of the latter. Justice
Hagner had hardly directed the child to be
delivered to the parents and passed from
the court room when Mr.. Aldrch approach
ed Mr. Smith and demanded an apology 70:
the language used Mr.. s;mith refused. and
in the controversy which followed struck at
Mr.. Aldrich. whereupon that gentleman
returned the mplimsut in a similar move,
which was followed by several biowa, and
other parties taking hand in it, resulted
in Mr.. Smith being thrown over on table
The baiiffs then interfered, and the scrim-
mage was brought to close.

TAxEs.-The bill allowing treasurers and
collectors more time for the collection of
state taxes recently passed by the legsla-
ture has been signed by the governor and is
now law. 1t provides that ali treasurers
and collectors of taxes due the state shall
be allowed until the 1st day of September,
1887, to make their final settlements with
the auditor on account of real and personal
property for the year 1886. such extension,
however, not to apply to taxes already col

for the pay of teachers of public schools,
when there is not enough of state funds in
the hands of such officers to meet these pay
ments. Treasurers are required to pay in to
the auditor on the 1st day of each month all
moneys received By them on account of the
state for the preceding month. The delin.
quent list shall be made out as soon as prac.
ticahe after the 1st September, 1887, but not

RIOT AT A CHRIsTBNING.-A bloody riot
occurred Sunday night between rival Swedes,
Poles and Hungarians, at Denver, Col, which
resulted in the fatal shooting OF one man
and the serious wounding of several others.
Mr.. ard Mrs. Knaudo, rivals of their neigh
bors, prepared to celebrate the christening
of all S.months.old child. They had invited
number of their friends and laid in sup.
ply of beer. The Knaudo crowd reached
an advanced state of intoxication by mid
night, and one part Of them, going out on
the pavement at that hour, accidentally met
a number from another house, situated not
over ten or fifteen rods away. A fight i'm
mediately ensued. The Knaudo crowd, re-
enforced from those inside, drove them in.
to their den, where the widest scene took
place. Chairs, tables, and bedsteads were
broken up, and the pieces were used as wea-
pons with which the men pounded one an
other over the head. Many were knocked
senseless and trampled under foot until
nearly dead. After bitter fight the
Kuaudo crowd were driven into their house
where the same scene took place. Several
shots were fired, and Pole named Ribort-
itch was fatally shot, and others seriously
wounded. A squad of policemen, armed
with Winchesters, surrounded the house,
and arrested thirty ofthe crowd after show
of resistance.

VIRGINIA COnSOIS and 1910 Bonds

We are authorized by the council of foreign
bondholders to call the attention of holders of
Virginia consols aud 10 40s to the fact that the
English bondholders are endeavoring, through the
instrumentality of the council of foreign bond
holders, to bring about satisfactory settlement of
the debt OF Virginia.
With this object in view the English bond
holders have, to large extent, agreed to pool
ther bonds and have authorized the council OF
foreign bondholders to act for them in the ntgo-
tiations which are about to bs had between 6 COM
mission sent ont from London aud committee ap-
pointed by tho Legislature Of Virginia
1t is most desirable that all holders of Virginia
bonds, both at homo and Dad, should unite in
the effort to effect an early settlement of the
state debt. To better accomplish this object the
council Of foreign bondhoders earnestly request
the holders of Virginia bonds in America to CO.
operate with them and to forward tn ourselves
their names and addresses, stating the amount of
bonds held. at as early day as possible.
We will be glad to furnish copies OF the plan
adopted by the English bondholders for pooling
their bonds at London, and to give any other in
formation that may be desired.

Major Burgess Again.

A Washington special says The Mary
land Military and Naval Academy Mt OK
ford, which has achieved such unenvable
notorety of late, is no more, and its ex-
superintendent, major" Burgess. is now in
hiding. Major George A. Armes, United
States army (retred), who short time ago
purchased the institution has arrived in this
city after closing the school and providing
for the transfer of the remaining pupils to
other academies. He has employed two
detectives, who are now securing the coun
try in search of the ex-superintendent, who
is wanted on dozen charges Of swindling.
The career of Burgess, as related by Major
Armes, is unique in its way. Some years
ago he developed passion for founding
educational institutions, with strong par
tiality for military and naval features. He
organized a military academy in a small
town in Georgia. but after incurring liabili-
ties amounting to several thousand dollars
quietly disappeared. He next established
the school at Oxford, and after engaging a
corps of assistants embracing several gradu-
ates from West Point and Annapolis, he
secured as pupils the sons of large
number of Congressman and wealthy peo-
pie of New York, and other prominent peo.
pie. Tuition and board. bills were uniformly
payable in advance. Burgess claimed that
the academy was conducted under the aus
pices Of the State, and issued circular in
which the Congressman referred to and sev
eral Senators appear as board of visitors"
Major Armes says Burgess then made an ex-
tended tour of small eastern cities, ordering
large quantities of goods shipped to the
academy. These he reshpped in the ori-
ginal package, consigned to his brother, who
had rented Storehouse in neighboripg
town, and managed to dispose of them. The
bills for the goods were all sent to the acade.
my and paid by check. Armes was induced
to purchase the institution in February last,
and after making the transfer Burgess disap.
peared. Within thirty days over hundred
of the worthless drafts were protested and
returned 10 the academy. Armes says he
has reason to believe the returns are not all
in yet, but thinks Burgess's operations must
have netted him at least $50, ,000 A number
of judgments for frauds committed in Geor-
gia have been levied on the Oxford property,
and Armes has surrendered everything and
returned TO Washington. He says that the
complaints made by the teachers and pupils
as to the poor accommodations, &C., were
caused by the straitened circumstances in
which he was placed by the rascality of
Burgess"
Maj. Burgess is we'll known in this city
where he lived at various times. The hot

A Unique and Famous Pearl.

No explanation ever has been, or ever
will be, forthcoming of the extraordinary
freak of nature in the formation of the
famous pearl known rs the southern cross.
Originally discovered ut Roeburn, in
western Australia, it consists Of nine
pearls adhering together in the form of a
Latin cross, seven in the shaft and two in
the arms, one on each side Of the shaft,
nearly opposite the second pearl from the
top. The pearls are slightly compressed,
like peas in q pod, and no trace of any
artificial junction can be observed. It
has been suggested that a fragment of
sea weed may have got into the shell and
formed the frame of the construction.
The pearls are Of fine quality, though
slightly misshapen at parts, and the value
of the gem is very high. Its character is
unique, and so filled the owner-an Irish
man named Kelley-with surerstitious
awe that for a long time he was induced
to hide it away and keep his possession of
it q ecret.-Boston Transcript.

Basket Work of the Indiana.

The annual report of the National mu-
scum for 1884 contains several interesting
chronological papers. Professor o. T. Ma
son gives n sketch of the basketry Of
North American aborigines, which is
amply illustrated with drawings of speci-
mems and enlarged portions of the basket
work, in order to illustrate exactly the
manner of weaving. Mason discusses the
methods in use all along the coast of
western America from the Arctic ocean to
California, in the interior, and among tho
tribes of the Atlantic coast, and distin-
cuisines three types of basketry, which he
calls the twined, the coiled and the woven
ones. The first is most frequently found
on the northwest coast. Coiled basket
work is almost exclusively used by the
northern Time and by the Apache, while
many tribes apply all methods rof manu-.
facture. A great difficulty in determining
the area of characteristic forms IS eacoun-
tered through the deficiency of the meth
DDS of many collectors, and the frag-
mentary state Of collections; many speci-
mems which are seemingly characteristic
Of one tribe having in reality a far wider
distribution, while other characteristic
types are wanting in the collections
